BPJuly 20, 2015Only serve set meals. Very clean and tidy setting. All ingredients are freshly prepared and they kills the live fish right in front of you!
C MNovember 21, 2018Very delicious! The lunch set was still available when I arrived at 2pm. An English menu is available, and they take credit cards. The Tempura Zen set (2300¥) was very filling and great variety.
Angela LiuAugust 27, 2016Authentic tempura! The place is very clean and tidy in a traditional japanese setting. The tempura batter was crispy yet not greasy at all!
- Johnny WangMay 14, 2019(4/5) Cozy restaurant known for their tempura dishes, which you can order a la carte or omakase style, depending on your mood. The latter is quite a bit of food, so eater beware!
Arjan TimmermansNovember 24, 2016Delicious, authentic tempura. No line here usually. Friendly service. Dine on the bar to see the cooks prepare your meal. Your clothes may smell a little like cooking oil after though.
Andrew C.October 5, 2015This is always a must-do when we come to Tokyo. Traditional tempura shop, batter is light, but flavorful. Service is simple yet complete. Wish we had something like this back home!
Kelvin LeeOctober 21, 2016I was a little disappointed for the price. The cheapest combo was ¥2,300 and you get a small piece of fish, 2 very small prawn, 1 slice of lotus, 1sm eel, and a shrimp kakiage. Sounds more than it is.
Sen Chew LuaApril 19, 2019One of my go to places for tempura. Fresh seafood and vegetables in a light and crispy batter.
Joseph LAugust 11, 2017The Zen Tempura set is more than enough food for a large man. Get the scallop, eggplant, and shiitake stuffed with shrimp as extra.
get the tempura uni (sea urchin), it's not so common and definitely delicious (especially if you like uni).
Johnny LeeDecember 5, 2016amazing tempura. Fresh and sweet. Gotta sit at the bar to get the best experience.
rickricardu Ricardo Jr.May 8, 2016Best tempura ever!! Fresh tiger prawn! Staff don't have a good English. But the menu helps.
Nigel KongAugust 10, 2018Had a great meal here! And yes, worth the hype. Staff were also very welcoming and helpful.
KennyNovember 15, 2018Everyone was very nice. English was iffy. I didn't think this was as amazing as everyone else said but we enjoyed it.
Sean Sangjin LeeAugust 18, 2015This restraunt has operated since 1924. I recommend set menu including eel tenpura.
- Daniel FriedliJune 22, 2013This is hands down the best and freshest tempura I've ever had. You sit at the bar and they make the tempura as you order!
Tiago PalmaDecember 7, 2019Great service and great food! Good value for quality. Would definitely return.
Lester ChanJanuary 4, 2018Tempura is really nice. But it is kinda expensive and portion is little. Personally, I don’t think it is worth to queue.
- Jorge OconApril 3, 2017The menu is all fried. But the tempura experience is something to try. Good service and good beer.
Epicurean 🗼dventuresNovember 23, 2018It's 1 of those times we disagreed wholeheartedly w/ d rating.Both set meals we had were mediocre @best.Portion was also small.We left d restaurant feeling dissatisfied & smelling like kitchen grease.
Laia TutzoSeptember 8, 2013All sorts of tempura. Tempura zen + Sashimi moriawase=good combo to share for 2
Jonathan GoldnerNovember 30, 2012Sit at the counter and the chef will give you your food hot and fresh out of the fryer!
Choak O'ConnellApril 8, 2012The Tempura Zen set is the best lunch pick: 2 shrimp, 1 bell pepper, 2 unagi, 1 fish and kakiage.
Cindy WongMarch 17, 2014Pronounced Tsunahachi. Their website is
Sat FujitaAugust 31, 2010Fresh Tempura served the traditional way skilled right in front of you. I recommend the Kodawari Zen at about 6000 yen- Arnold MeziniJune 6, 2016Good tempura and great service, get the ala-carte. Highly recommend the natto, leek and tempura egg yolk! I would skip the fish, it's very fresh but the veggies are more flavorful :-)
Larry De Las PenasJune 23, 2014Request for a counter seat... get tempura pieces as soon as they leave the fryer
One of the oldest Tempura Restaurant in Tokyo. Delicious and reasonable price.
Piccy LokeFebruary 2, 2016choose between a tatami mat seating style or a bar counter and watch the chefs fry your tempura and serve it immediately. best tempura i have ever eaten my whole life
